Can you freeze biscuits after baking?

It's possible to freeze biscuits after baking, but they will lose some of their moisture and the texture will be slightly affected when rewarming. To freeze, place in an air-tight freezer bag, squeeze out any excess air, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw on the counter or in the fridge and warm slightly in the microwave.

How do I store biscuits?

Leftover biscuits can become stale or dry if not stored properly after baking. Follow these tips for the best method of storing biscuits: 1.) Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing them. 2.) Place the biscuits in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. 3.) If you are stacking the biscuits, place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together. 4.) Store the biscuits at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can also freeze biscuits using our instructions in the article above.

How do I reheat biscuits?

There are two ways to reheat biscuits: 1.) Oven: Place them on a sheet pan, brush the tops with melted butter (if desired), cover with foil, and heat at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes. 2.) Microwave: Place biscuits on a plate. Microwave in about 20-second increments until warmed through. This method may result in a little soggier or tougher finished product, so don't overdo it.

Are whole wheat biscuits healthy?

Whole wheat biscuits can be a healthier alternative to traditional biscuits made from refined flour. Whole wheat flour contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than refined flour, and it has a lower glycemic index, meaning it causes less of a spike in blood sugar levels. This recipe also avoids using vegetable shortening, which is a highly processed ingredient that contains trans fats. Trans fats are a type of unhealthy fat that has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. It also contains other additives and preservatives, which can be detrimental to health if consumed in large amounts.

Instructions

Make It Now:

Preheat oven to 450°F.
To a medium mixing bowl, add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk until combined.
Cut the cubed butter into the dry mix using a fork or pastry cutter until it’s broken down into pea-sized pieces. This will take a few minutes and some elbow grease. Stir in the buttermilk just until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto a floured surface. Form the dough into a ball, sprinkle with a little flour, and roll it out about 3/4-inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or upside-down glass. Lay the biscuits on a sheet pan, making sure they don’t touch. Tip: Cover the sheet pan first with parchment paper for easy clean up.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until starting to turn golden on top.

Freeze For Later: Follow Steps 1-4. Dust the cut-out biscuits (that haven’t been baked) with a little more flour, place on a sheet pan and flash freeze for about 2 hours until frozen solid. Toss biscuits into a gallon-size freezer bag, seal, and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: Place frozen biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Thaw completely on the counter or refrigerator and bake according to directions in Step 5.
